Sex and the City offer at the Walnut Club

June 7th, 2010 cheffy

You can toast the success of latest film blockbuster Sex and the City 2 in appropriate style at Sheffield’s trendy Walnut Live restaurant, with a two-for-one offer on cosmopolitans – the NY girls’ favorite cocktail. Anyone providing a ticket from the movie, or proof of purchase on arrival, will be entitled to take advantage of the offer at the Ecclesall Road cabaret bar and restaurant.

Walnut Live’s 20-metre rectangular champagne bar is the largest of its kind in Sheffield and they are proud of their inclusive cocktail and champagne list, making it a great venue to enjoy pre or post-movie drinks.  Cocktails start from £3.50 with early bird specials before 7pm.


Save money when you eat out in Sheffield

May 10th, 2010 cheffy

Although the recession means that people are looking to make cutbacks in every other aspect of their finances, the occasional treat of eating out at a restaurant remains a luxury that most of Britain are reluctant to forgo. Up to 70% of people still like to dine out at least once per month, despite the rising prices and VAT, and restaurants are constantly running deals and exclusive offers to help ease the burden on the pockets of their customers.

Hence the rising popularity of e-vouchers. As with the traditional voucher; found in newspapers and magazines then cut out and taken to a retailer for a discount on goods, an e-voucher can also be redeemed at stores, restaurants and various other places. But there’s an added advantage: the e-voucher can be found online and printed off just when you want it. No more last minute panics to find that money off coupon you’ve had in your wallet for weeks before finally getting round to using it, only to realise it’s fallen out somewhere. Simply find the voucher you want, print it out, and off you go to save some money.

There are many websites which offer a wide range of e-vouchers for all participating retailers, and many have a search facility so you can find vouchers for either a specific retailer, or for all retailers in your local area. Some, such as moneysupermarket.com, offer a registration facility; enter your email details and you can have the latest local vouchers sent to you as soon as the offer begins.

Sometimes the offer may come in the form of a code, which should be entered during the booking or ordering process if purchasing goods or reserving a table online. Some retailers and restaurants run exclusive deals which can only be redeemed with a voucher from a specific site. Some deals are available to all customers without a voucher being required, but may only advertise the offer on websites. Either way, it’s worth registering or visiting the voucher site often to make sure you don’t miss out on any great deals.

Moneysupermarket currently has several e-vouchers available which are redeemable at restaurants and other retailers throughout Sheffield.  Ask, on Cambridge Street, is offering 2 main course meals for £10 with a printable voucher and you could get up to 50% off  Tapas at La Tasca on Ecclesall Road.

Dosanj Indian Restaurant on Fitzwilliam St and The Museum Restaurant, Orchard Square, are both running an exclusive offer of 20% off your food bill when presented with a printable voucher from moneysupermarket.com. The Ember Inn pub/restaurant chain, who have 3 locations in Sheffield (The Sportsman on Benty Lane, the Prince of Wales on Ecclesall Rd South and the Robin Hood on Millhouses Lane), are offering two meals for £8 if you eat before 5pm Monday to Saturday.

These are just a small sample of what you could save; there are many other retailers in Sheffield who offer discounts through e-vouchers, so it’s worth looking online regularly to see what’s available.
